Great set up out there, was awesome to be able to play all 18. For those who haven't been, the pics don't do the course justice, and plan on hiking up and down hills a lot. Its like hole 10 and 11 at sequoyah over and over, but longer and with blind pin positions.

Now for the lost disc... It was a red star wraith, went long right on hole 8 in the ditch with briars, last seen about pin high? Has HUK lab butterfly on top, my name and PDGA number on inside rim.

LOST! Orange Flash with a black crowe stamp (has name and number). Bad drive on #17--went straight into the lake; looks like we are going to need some professional divers. This was my absolute favorite disc and I am desperate to get it back. I would be glad to volunteer time on the course or assist any divers with fees or labor.

retrieved a couple of orange discs from the lake (on hole 15 and 16). Owners called. Neither of them was a Z buzzz. Also, greg I remembered to tie the rope of my retriever to my wrist. Unfortunately I forgot not to step ankle deep in the lake...

LOST: Bright Green/Yellow champion Boss 173g in shule on #8 almost right enough to be considered on #5. Owner is Jim Strickland (not sure if his number is on there.) He also lost a tye-dyed Pro Valkerie in the lake on 17 but I think the Boss may be more likely to be found.

I was out there today and right off the edge of 17's green, the water drops to over 5' atabout 1' off the edge. I'm sure when it's warmer, Chris Millay will be in there to retrieve his 20 discs and will more than likely find many others.

Any thoughts on putting rollaway protection on 17 along the waters edge? Maybe a small log or something so relatively good shots that get unlucky don't necessarily roll in? Also, I was thinking it would be cool to put a flag on hole 6's pin so you can get a good feel for wind direction at the pin. Maybe this should go in another thread...

So, do you bowl on the lanes with bumpers in the gutters? If it rolls off the edge, it should be spottable.Since we don't have any courses with water hazards other than Deerlick, most locals aren't prepared forthis. In other places it is common to see people carrying ball golf retrievers to get discs out of water. Rollaway protection would just be cheating on the hole.

I don't disagree with this and I don't like the idea of the hole being "easy" but I just cringe when a perfect looking shot lands 40 ft from the water and trickles all the way down and is OB. There isn't a whole lot of flat ground on the green.

I'm gonna have to agree with the fact that it gets deep FAST. There are spots immediately off the shore on 17 that drop 2-3 feet into murky water with lots of debris and leaves. I quit throwing good discs that I use regularly on that hole. I now have 7 discs in the water out at White Oak (is that a record, can I get a consolation prize of some sort?), and 4 of them landed either onshore and rolled or splashed down within 1-2 feet of the shore, never to be seen again. I know I should take the wuss route over the land, but that hyzer just looks so pretty. I wouldnt mind seeing some roll away protection (railroad ties, chicken wire, midgets with snorkels), or at least a good amount of tree trimming on the peninsula near the basket. The protection doesnt even need to be around the whole peninsula, just that front steep part to the left of the basket. Everywhere else around the basket is relatively shallow right off the shore. I also had an idea that might save some people some wetness. Tie some ropes around a few of the bigger trees up high so that people have something to hold onto while they're searching for submerged discs right off shore. Those little @$$ trees that line the shore dont provide very good support. That shore is sooo damn steep, plus there's a bunch of false ground where the leaves have collected and seem to provide a little support, until a branch underneath breaks and your foot goes in. Just a few sturdy ropes would allow people to traverse the perils of 17 with a little more confidence. Just a few ideas, but everything else at White Oak is awesome!

I heard somebody suggest a cast net of some sort in the water lining the penninsula..mayb a good 10 - 15ft out so if any discs land in that range, 1 or 2 people can pull up the net and retrieve the discs..but its still OB.but then some people might not put the net back correctly. or somebody can volunteer to clear the net every week or 2...just an idea.

Have yet to play the course but I am very interested by all the pics and comments.

Heres my comment: Put some constuction mesh barrier at the bottom and make it OB to be against it. Newbies hate losing plastic and nothing hurts more than losing it at the end of what was a great day out at the course. For the more competitve of us the barrier will keep the disc from getting lost without losing penalty for a bad or unlucky shot.

Since hole 17 is the subject and cause of the majority of this thread, this discussion is in the right place. If someone would like to place snow fencing (the slotted orange kind) around the edge, have at it. Or, you could make it more natural and put the tree that the beaver cut down at the edge as Scott suggested. I would recommend blowing the leaves away first. The onlyrule should be that if you are touching any part of it, you are considered ob and will have to take a penalty stroke. I do understand the concept of not wanting to lose a disc, but I also like the edginess of this hole.

more plastic added to the lake today. yellow 12x wraith about 15 feet from the edge. I also almost fished one out on hole 15 but the sticks were too much and I gave up. 18's tee is much better by the way. Keep up the good work.

I lost a white Star Wraith i think it was a 171 not sure anyway i lost it in that B.S. swamp on hole 8. I looked for it until my hands were bleeding and then i gave up. If anyone is brave enough to walk that swamp of shit and happens to find my disc please let me know I will buy it back from you.

Are there any plans to maybe bush hog that area of thorns and find ALL of the lost plastic there, then maybe plant a row of maples or something to still provide a barrier or obstacle, that discs can be found more easily? I still got a red wraith in there, unless someone found it and decided not to return it?

There are a lot of plans in the works, but the prob;em is getting people to help.Jason, Kevin, Wade, and I were out there all day digging in hole 18's teepad,and out of the 30 plus people that passed, 0 helped. Remember that the courseis super new and problems such as the shule on 8 will be addressed. It just takestime.

One only had an unreadable signature and a PDGA number -- #16348. If anyone knows how to contact Randy Fortenberry let me know.One had info that was all unreadable but Grease to the rescue knew who the owner was. Andrew Slingshot Jenkins pm me to recover your SE Rhyno.One person threw into the lake from the long tee while I was swimming and I was able to retreive it and give it back.

That water gets deep fast and I only found one disc close to the edge. Seems like a lot slide too deep to recover without diving.Chris, sorry buddy. I looked until I was shivering and it took me a couple hours to warm up next to a heater. I think the beavers are stealing your discs and building a dam somewhere...

Glad to help... I only went in because I threw my putter in and have been playing well with it lately. Figured while I was freezing my balls off I might as well poke around a little.And I ain't going back in there unless it's much warmer!

Corey is referring to holes 10 and 11, its just easier to walk straight to 12 versus hiring a sherpa to hike up the mountain and then repel back down, haha. But in all seriousness the course is great, we're just lazy

I too became a victim of hole 17 today. Lost yellow Champion Valkyrie with name on it.It was about 50 short of the basket just at the edge or in the water on the right side. Call404-509-9010 if found. I would like to get it back.

I LOST A WHITE ONTARIO ROC WITH A BUDWEISER BOWLING GREEN STAMP ON HOLE 16 SAT. COULDN'T HAVE BEEN MORE THAN 4 FT OFF THE BANK. RIGHT BEHIND THE LITTLE BUSHES. COULDN'T GET IT RIGHT THEN AND THERE WAS A WATER MOCCASIN IN THE BUSH SO I SAID SCREW IT. WOULDN'T MIND GETTING IT BACK IF FOUND.

does anyone know who went diving for discs a month or so ago? I know ATL Scott went in back in february, but I heard rumors that someone else actually went in with dive equipment and pulled a bunch of discs out more recently. I've heard this rumor from several people and I just want to know if anyone has any info. Because unlike Scott, there were no posts about found discs from whoever went out this time, and that is kinda dick. Especially since I know that I have about 8 discs right there and they would have to have grabbed at least 1 or 2 off the bottom. I'd happily throw a few bucks retrieval fee for their safe return. So if someone knows which greedy bastard went diving and decided to horde all the discs for themselves, let me know so we can feed them to the beavers.

I offered to do this but never heard back from anyone if that was an option allowed by the park. If it is warm one day next week, like thursday or friday, I will be more than happy to get in dive around a bit, but do not want to deal with the PoPo or county P&R people yelling at me, or with angry fishermen and get hooked! I've only got one lost out there, but am sure I will lose more and I could use to get my scuba equipment wet again.

I haven't lost anything worth diving for since I bought a bunch of $7 dx destroyers. It only took one occurence of losing a valuable disc, for me to realize that cheaper/smarter strategy. Face it, you are going to try to go for it on 17. I will order some more dx destroyers if people like that price. Then next time, just pray you don't take a dive into Millay Bay!

OH, BY THE WAY..... Jason and I are going to be out this sunday 04/19, around noon, doing final prep work on 5 and 18's pads, and some other light course work. The sooner these pads get framed, the sooner we can talk about putting in cement.

Lost/left: White JK Aviar (soft) on hole 18. 2nd shot hit tree on left and it bounced right. The stamp has been removed, but it has my name on it. I really want this back and willreward finder a free new disc of choice.

Yes i was out there this afternoon and it started to poor and i just hoped some kind person like yourself would call or post it. Low and behold marking your disc's actully does get them returned. Pm if you would and we can make arrangements being as i don't make it out to white oak as much as id like im sure if you ask around i played with quite a few ppl from east roswell that would return it to me.

I lost an orange Champion Orc on 17 in the water, and then I tried to make up for it, and I lost my Blue Valkerie just off of the bank of 17. My personal info is not on my discs, but the blue Valkerie has "INJN" painted white on top of the disc.

I spoke with Pete @ White Oak on 5/10/09 , and he advised that somebody is going scuba to recover discs @ White Oak. Please let me know if you find my discs.

I was out at White Oak today doing a little practice on #15, and dropped one into the lake. It's a floater, orange lighting #1 Slice. It has pdga #9392 on the back, it may have the name Larry on it, but not sure. A friend let me borrow some discs. I was going to try to wade out to get it, but the water is pretty deep and looked a little funky. There were a couple of other discs floating in the same area. If you happen to pick up the Slice PM me.

I lost a newer Red Beast 150g light weight. I have not put my information on it. I lost it on 12 and I think it drifted left over the hill into the brush. Next time I play a course for the first time I will check the every hole for hazards...

I will be going back tomorrow to search for it again. I found please pm me.

I was throwing around with Wade when I lost my 169 Red Star Destroyer throwing on 15. It was quite windy and it turned over headin towards the lake/island. Looked like it brushed the leaves on the island which barely took enough off of it to fall short of the shore.. Should be right in between the shore and island. If it weren't so cold (and deep) I woulda jumped right in.

Lorelei's first throw of Fright Flight on 17 from the short pad a 150 class purple DX Leopard went straight towards the basket landed about 25 ft away and vanished. We think it hit the root and then rolled into the water between the tree and the basket.

Okay, it's rastafarian for starts. Will keep an eye out for your disc.

BTW, does anyone know the name of the guy that was selling used discs at Pete's heart charity event at White Oak a few months back? I bought a disc from him that I verified was lost in the lake at White Oak. So, basically, that was the guy that's been getting the discs out of the lake and not returning them. He said he bought the discs off ebay from a guy in Alabama. He sold me a used 11X Teebird for $8. There's no way he could buy that disc off ebay and be able to sell it to me at that price. Besides,I know the person who's disc it was and confirmed from himthat it was lost in the lake. If you know the guy selling the used stuff, he's a crook.

I'm well aware of the spelling along with the historical significance of the rastafarian culture. The name is more of a play on spelling.[quote]Okay, it's rastafarian for starts. Will keep an eye out for your disc/quote]

That guy may be telling the truth. I was playing White Oak in September and there were two guys swimming in the lake and they pulled up about 30 discs a piece. They mentioned they were from Alabama and said they call the people who have numbers on discs but ebay the discs without names and numbers. They swam to the other side of the lake near 16 and got a disc for me that I lost the day before. They were pretty good guys, or so it seemed.

Some of the discs he was selling had the names sharpied over. Plus, if you didn't understand the part about the Teebird I bought, used on Ebay would be around $20. Deduce dear Watson.

i lost a yellow champion firebird in the pond on 15. my name and number are on the back, although a little faded, and the disc is dyed with a slippery when wet road sign. i didn't even realize the pond was up there, thought it was just a little creek.

this disc was my first dye attempt and i hadn't even taken a picture of it yet, would really like to get this disc back.

coreyml wrote:dude, I though you lost that in the water - i woulda totally gone and gotten it for yaI did get mine after tying my golden retriever to my ratchet straps to make it long enough

I tried getting it again today using my fishing pole tied to a bunch of crankbaits but I still couldn't get it. The hooks kept sliding over the top of the disk. It'll probably be under water by tomorrow :/ Thank you very much for the offer though. Chris was out there trying to help me get it to by throwing rocks and sticks. It looks like some kinda shrine around the disc now.

How many X-Caliburs is that lost on 17, Corey? Not trying to poke fun, but maybethat's not the right disc for you on that hole. Just sayin'. BTW, I have plenty ofX-caliburs if you need new ones. PM me.

Lost Star Sidewinder just in the pond on the new 15. It's about 30 feet to the right of the corner of the pondand about 6 feet out. Couldn't spot it. BTW, if you righties throw on the island, don't depend on the pallets docross over. Mikey found out the hard way! Hope you're warmed up by now Mikey.

Orange elite-x Avenger. On the island...it was visible from the shore, last time I checked. Just sitting there, taunting me. It has my name and contact stuff on it. I hit a tree throwing to 16 (Griplocked it) and it bounced backwards across the lake onto the shore of the little island thingy.

Lost a new yellow Dragon in the lake close to the dam. I didn't feel like waiting for it to drift to the shore. My number is in it, 678-773-6583, but it's partially rubbed off. Please call if you find it.

Lost a yellow Shark yesterday. Just sentimental, nothing special would like to have back. My name and number was on that. Have no idea which hole. Also, and newb playing with us lost a yellow driver unsure of the type of disc on the uphill shot in the backwoods in the leaves. No name no number. PM or contact at 404.421.0673 Thanks. Beautiful course. Felt fortunate to play it! Amazing.

Sent a crystal Buzz in the lake next to hole 16 during the GSSS tournament. Name and number should be on the inside rim, but it might be faded. Hard to find because it is clear. Getting it back would be nice for whomever goes diving there. Thanks

Hi my name is Chris Hawkins I have some disc´s in the lake if any body goes in there or finds them I will pay a reward for any of my disc´s that comes back from there my number is on them if some one is diving for them I would like a chance to buy them before they go up on ebay

I threw a white pro rhyno into the shule yesterday on on right. It's somewhere over in the woods to the right. Couldn't find it. It used to have my name and number on it but it's gone now for getting used so much. I would love to it back. It has most of a silver stamp on it i think but its kinda wore off as well. It's really beat up. Going to head out there tomorrow and look for it again. If someone finds could you please return it. Thanks

My purple TL in the deep spongy spot in the grass in the middle of the fairway on #12. I lost it in April, on a day y'all were playing one of your doubles rounds (I came up behind y'all while you were playing), so unless the person who found it means to but just hasn't bothered yet to call the phone number that's clearly written on it in Sharpie marker next to my name, I suppose it's now stolen goods in the sweaty, hairy palms of some lousy disc stealing douchebag. I figure it won't hurt to go ahead and post this anyway.

LOST:My son Zach lost his DX Dragon in the middle of the lake during Tuesday dubs. There was no wind which means no waves. We waited 30 minutes for it to come to shore but unfortunately it didn't budge at all. His name is on it as well as my number.

Lost a light green Champ Leopard, no ink, somewhere on the hill leading up to the lake on hole 15. I thought it landed in plain sight of the hill after flying right, but it was too dark out at that point to search for the disc.

LOST Blue Pro Katana w/red lettering on 13s muddy schule short of 12s old basket. flying straight to the ob fence then flexed out left over hill and out of sight. was at 830, sloshed about for 30min till no more light. please PM or call name and number on inside rim. Jon 678-332-7551. Thanks!

RETURNED Thanks to Burritotoes.

White Destroyer with the name Chris Hawkins inside. No phone number, anyone know how to get in touch with him?

I hit him up on facebook and told him to get on here. Hopefully he'll get on here pretty soon. He works crazy long hours 6 days a week. Worst case scenario if you comes to tuesday doubles you can give it to either me or pete and we can get it to him.

my mind......after losing my favorite NUKE on 15 in the lake. I also lost a dragon on 17 that has mysteriously floated away from the lake. Zach also lost his valkyrie on 15 near the shore closest to the basket. It was visible yesterday but not reachable before dark. It is no longer visible so it may have sank further in.

Got a call from a guy named Patrick who found my Yellow Elite Z Wasp with a red hotstamp. Didn't get back in touch with him until after he gave it to a Pete. Does course work and runs Tuesday action? I'm assuming that is O4PETESAKE or hope so. If anyone can help that would be great. I'm not a regular in the area so I'm not sure who's who.

during the cardiac cup my little brother was throwing hole 14 and got caught up in the shule/marsh right over the hill. its a blue star valakrie with the initials "a.o." and his number. this is the first disc my little brother ever bought and it means alot to him. please contact me if found.

Fished out a Jason Gann's blue Nuke and Carlos Rodriguez's 2008 GSSS#4 Surge this morning. I'll try to get them both to someone playing the GSSS event this weekend, but failing that send me a pm and we can work something out.

damn you to hell grease! seriously though i know someone was going swimming and whoever that person is is going to retreave alot of discs. whats that person going to do with all of them? brand new bag of sweet discs or turning a profit?

lost a blue star beast on 16 at White Oak on 3/10/11. Skipped right off the ground near the basket and hooked into the water near the tree. Not sure how low the water gets during the summer so it may be uncovered when it dries out some...

name and number on the back. 601 area code.

so far a great start to playin the atl area courses....hit it up twice this weekend.

Lost an orange wraith on #13 today, has name and number on it. It is somewhere on the right in the overgrowth that is always an issue off the tee. All four of us landed in it, I am the only one that didn't find his. Searched for a good 45 min and it got too dark to see anymore.

If you want to complain about the overgrowth, then step up and bring a trimmer. just be careful that you avoid cutting into an orange wraith that somebody lost recently.

Colin King lost Star Green Wraith right off 17's island also he miss placed a James Robert Warner stamped disc Red while we were warming up.Tim Tkaczuk lost a Blue star Teerex pretty center of the lake on 17 just posting just in case
